While most of the posts on here are written by me, Ronnie Hughes, some of the best appreciated are written by my partner Sarah Horton. And are not about the walking and Liverpool and the meaning of life and society that mostly concern me, but often about the straightforward joy, and sometimes bravery, of sea kayaking. Also about her travels, often on her own, and the insights these bring her. Together with her gardening, horticulture and her fascination with what grows in the littoral, the edges of the land and sea. So read on, for sea kayaking and much more, letters from Sarah:
